I personally would go and see the lens at Adorama in person. I've always been warry of E- at Adorama, because that generally means there IS something wrong with the lens (ie a mark, scratch, etc). On ebay, I've had luck with vendors with superb ratings and 1000+ sells. There are a couple that are quite reputable, and appear to be real brick and mortar photo stores that use ebay as their "web" operation. Both my of 35mm primes were sourced on ebay, and both arrived in sterling condition.
I went today to check out the lens - glass pretty much perfect. A few physical scratches along the body, most of the scratches were along the 86mm adapter someone sold them with it. Focus ring was smooth and iris looked good!
